Biography
Jeff Weaver was born in St. Albans, Vermont in 1966, and he attended Boston University during the 1980s. He was a student activist, and he was arrested in 1986 for attempting to prevent police from driving away during a student protest; later that year, Weaver and several other students successfully sued their school over its policy of forbidding students to hang banners. He also worked as a driver for Bernie Sanders during his gubernatorial campaign. He later (unsuccessfully) attempted to run for local office, and he instead became a legislative assistant to Sanders and, later, his chief-of-staff. When Sanders ran in the Democratic Party primary during the 2016 presidential election, Weaver was his right-hand man, and he was reputed to go even farther than the candidate himself. In August 2016, he became President of Our Revolution, a political organization created by Sanders, and he published a book, How Bernie Won: Inside the Revolution That's Taking Back our Country - And Where We Go from Here, in May 2018, providing a personal account of the Sanders campaign and its effects.
